Office Coffee Bars and Barista Stations
LP Food at Work provides workplace coffee solutions for London businesses, from staffed office coffee bars and barista stations to bean-to-cup machines and everyday supplies.
Coffee can be a standalone service or part of a wider cafe, pantry or catering offer. Tell us about your team, space and budget, and we’ll help you choose the right setup.
Better Coffee at Work
Good coffee welcomes visitors, brings colleagues together and gives people a reason to step away from their desks.
Every office is different. A busy workplace may need a staffed coffee bar, while a smaller team may be better suited to a bean-to-cup machine. We consider footfall, available space, demand and budget before recommending a solution.
Workplace Coffee Options
Your coffee service could include:
- A fully staffed office coffee bar
- A barista station in a reception, breakout space or cafe
- Bean-to-cup or Nespresso machines
- Cafetiere or filter coffee for meetings and events
- Tea, milk, alternative milks and everyday supplies
- Crockery, glassware and serving equipment
- Equipment sourcing and ongoing replenishment
- Food, snacks or pantry supplies alongside coffee
We can help you choose ethically sourced coffee and the most suitable way to prepare and serve it.
A Staffed Office Coffee Bar
A staffed coffee bar creates a social space where employees and visitors can meet, pause and recharge.
We can plan the equipment, counter flow, staffing, opening times and drinks range around your expected footfall and working patterns.
If your team also needs breakfast, lunch and snacks, the coffee service can form part of a workplace cafe designed around your team.
Everyday Supplies, All Taken Care Of
Coffee beans, tea, milk, alternative milks, sugar, cups and related supplies all need regular ordering and replenishment.
LP can manage these through your coffee service or a wider pantry provision, combining supplies on one monthly invoice and reducing the number of suppliers your team needs to manage.
For fruit, snacks, drinks and kitchen essentials, explore our office pantry supplies service.
Coffee for Meetings, Receptions and Events
LP can provide cafetiere or filter coffee for meetings and events, or help you choose a smart coffee solution for reception areas.
We can also connect workplace coffee with meeting room catering and corporate hospitality, bringing the drinks, food and service together.
